TENNIS RANKINGS
HE R E may be some difference opinion about the order of the players named below, but now does this strike you for a list of the five best tennis stars world? (asks the New York •Police Gazette). 1, Cochet, France; 2, Kozeluh, Czechoslovakia; 3, Lacoste, France; 4, Tilden, United States; 5, Richards, United States. Kozeluh and Richards are professionals and only open competition that would enlist both pros, and amateurs would determine the best of the five players. The final decision would seemingly rest between Cochet and Kozeluh. The latter, it is well known, is aching for a chance to take on the Frenchman and it is a real pity that those in authority who make the rules that govern tennis play, steadfastly refuse to heed the call of the sport world and make necessary amendments to the rules that would permit such a match. Open contests are permitted in golf and there is no good reason why they shouldn't be in tennis. However, strong pressure is being brought to bear on the tennis authorities, and it is only a question of time when we shall have professionals and amateurs ail bidding for each other’s scalp in a fine, clean, competitive spirit.
